abstract = {ObjectiveReal‐life observational report of clinical
efficacy of bilateral subthalamic stimulation (STN‐DBS),
apomorphine (APO), and intrajejunal levodopa infusion (IJLI)
on quality of life, motor, and nonmotor symptoms (NMS) in
Parkinson's disease (PD).MethodsIn this prospective,
multicenter, international, real‐life cohort observation
study of 173 PD patients undergoing STN‐DBS (n = 101),
IJLI (n = 33), or APO (n = 39) were followed‐up using
PDQuestionnaire‐8, NMSScale (NMSS), Unified PD Rating
Scale (UPDRS)‐III, UPDRS‐IV, and levodopa equivalent
daily dose (LEDD) before and 6 months after intervention.
Outcome changes were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed‐rank or
paired t test when parametric tests were applicable.
Multiple comparisons were corrected (multiple
treatments/scales). Effect strengths were quantified with
relative changes, effect size, and number needed to treat.
Analyses were computed before and after propensity score
matching, balancing demographic and clinical
characteristics.ResultsIn all groups, PDQuestionnaire‐8,
UPDRS‐IV, and NMSS total scores improved significantly at
follow‐up. Levodopa equivalent daily dose was
significantly reduced after STN‐DBS. Explorative NMSS
domain analyses resulted in distinct profiles: STN‐DBS
improved urinary/sexual functions, mood/cognition,
sleep/fatigue, and the miscellaneous domain. IJLI improved
the 3 latter domains and gastrointestinal symptoms. APO
improved mood/cognition, perceptual problems/hallucinations,
attention/memory, and the miscellaneous domain. Overall,
STN‐DBS and IJLI seemed favorable for NMSS total score,
and APO favorable for neuropsychological/neuropsychiatric
NMS and PDQuestionnaire‐8 outcome.ConclusionsThis is the
first comparison of quality of life, nonmotor. and motor
outcomes in PD patients undergoing STN‐DBS, IJLI, and APO
in a real‐life cohort. Distinct effect profiles were
identified for each treatment option. Our results highlight
the importance of holistic nonmotor and motor symptoms
assessments to personalize treatment choices. © 2019
